The Spotlight on Oliver Cromwell Hotel

Comfy Market Town Stay with Easy Access to Music Cities

Modern comfort meets small-town charm at the Oliver Cromwell Hotel, nestled in the heart of March, Cambridgeshire. With spacious, air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a welcoming on-site restaurant and bar, this laid-back hotel is a solid base for concert-goers heading to gigs in Peterborough or Cambridge—both just a direct train ride away. Free parking and thoughtful in-room touches like tea, coffee, and mineral water add to the relaxed vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a great pick if you're catching a show in nearby cities but want a quieter place to recharge. March Train Station is only a 15-minute walk, with direct lines to major concert destinations like Peterborough and Cambridge. After a loud night out, you'll appreciate the peaceful setting and air-conditioned rooms. The hotel’s flexible vibe and free parking make late-night returns a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to nearby gigs
  • Solo travelers ticking off bucket-list artists
  • Couples making a weekend of it in Cambridgeshire
  • Fans who want a quiet recovery spot after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value with comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s restaurant serves a varied breakfast menu—perfect for late risers after a big night. Dinner is also available in the evenings, and the bar offers a range of drinks, including specialty coffees. While there isn’t 24/7 room service, the location means you’re never far from a local takeaway or pub.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about unwinding than partying, you'll find pubs and bars within walking distance in March. For full-on nightlife, hop a train to Cambridge or Peterborough where clubs and live music venues await. Back at the hotel, the bar offers a more laid-back nightcap option.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and free parking. Many mention the hotel’s convenience for travel to nearby cities and the good value for money. The quiet location is a plus for those wanting restful nights after energetic concerts.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor is a bit dated in places, and the lack of 24-hour food service may be a drawback for very late-night returns. But overall, it's a small trade-off for the comfort and affordability on offer.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting an affordable, comfy base with easy train access to live music in Cambridge or Peterborough, the Oliver Cromwell Hotel hits the right notes.

A comfortable spacious room in...

Liked: Our second visit to this hotel and the room was very good, large and well furnished. Beds were very comfortable . It was good to have a chair each in the room with a small writing table.
Disliked: The bed provided for a disabled guest would have been unusable and needs to be replaced. The food available in the restaurant was not great. Although the room was advertised with breakfast this was only continental and cooked breakfast was an extra.

A no frills hotel with...

Liked: I arrived very late and was warmly welcomed. There were biscuits in the room, which was a nice touch. The lady who was overseeing breakfast was very welcoming too. A nice way to start the day.
Disliked: I was in Room 1. On the landing outside there was a large bucket almost full of water, on a large wet-stained patch of carpet, as a result of a leak through the ceiling. The ceiling panel had been removed. The room and the bathroom were both clean but the Lino and the seal on the shower are badly stained (through age and use) so the impression is that it's not clean. Maybe a refurb is planned.

Value for money but not...

Liked: Good value for money compared to other hotels in the area. Room was spacious.
Disliked: We had room 2 which got the kitchen smells - hopefully, other rooms wouldn’t have this problem. The bathroom needs a bit of sprucing up. The included continental breakfast is very poor so we paid £5 extra per head to have the cooked breakfast which was very nice.

Comfortable budget hotel

Liked: The hotel was relatively good value. We had an executive room, which was spacious with a large seating area. I would class it as a budget hotel suitable for a short stay
Disliked: The offer included breakfast, however, when checking in, it was a continental style, cooked was an extra £5 for cooked. We had cooked the first day, but it was only average, we didn’t bother the second morning.
